There have been several fatal Army helicopter crashes since February, and military.com found that pilots have been flying 'significantly' less since 2012.
The aftermath of a Tennessee National Guard Black Hawk helicopter crash Wednesday was seen by a driver.
Army pilots are flying"significantly less" than they were a decade ago, according to a report by military.com, as the branch of military investigates a recent spate of fatal helicopter crashes. Flight time with the Apache dropped by about 50 percent, Chinook pilots have 36 percent less time in the air, and the Black Hawk, the Army's"premier workhorse," is flying 25 percent less,Much of the dip in flight time has been attributed to the wind-down of the Global War of Terror, the outlet reported, but there have been several fatal Army helicopter crashes and close calls since February that prompted an Army-wide aviation stand-down in early May.
